Not sure about reactivating but, luckily, I use debian instead of ubuntu.
Of course, some things that ubuntu does wind up being "backported" to
debian, so... :o

So, CTRL-ALT-F7 will take you back to a GUI desktop after you have been to
the command line screen?
That actually reminds me... sometimes when the desktop is all hosed, but
not 100% locked-up, I can CTRL-ALT to a command line screen, log on, and
either kill the misbehaving program or, if that does not work, I can
shutdown -r now. Better than forcing a power down with the switch. :)
